All issues now resolved, thanks to arnieg

Thanks. There's obviously something else amiss in my file and/or calculations. Thanks.

Speedway Star w/e 3rd September states "Coventry have been beset by injury problems and have requested the postponement of all their fixtures for the next two to three weeks. Hopefully they will be able to rearrange them all before the end of the season, but if not, it is likely that Peterborough will take over their matches." Coventry raced 6 matches before their withdrawal: 16/04 Coventry 12 Sheffield 6 25/04 Birmingham 12 Coventry 6 14/05 Coventry 8 Swindon 10 11/06 Coventry 8 Long Eaton 10 25/06 Coventry 12 Birmingham 6 05/08 Swindon 15 Coventry 2 I don't have dates for these unfortunately but the Peterborough fixtures were: Long Eaton 8 Peterborough 10 Stoke 12 Peterborough 6 Leicester 11 Peterborough 7 Sheffield 10 Peterborough 8 Peterborough 9 Leicester 9 Peterborough 12 Stoke 6 Peterborough v Halifax and Halifax v Peterborough were not raced.

Does the CL History table correspond with this one? http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/history/leaguetables1997.php

Are those scores taken from programme fixture/results lists or from the actual racecards themselves? A league table up to and including 11th September 1997 carries what appears to be the correct points totals for Belle Vue, Buxton and St. Austell. However by 2nd October the points totals have been amended, and the differences are carried through to the final league table. However the three sides had already met, so I'm left with the notion that results have been amended after the event. For the record the differences are (my totals v official totals): Belle Vue - For 792 v 798 & Against 972 v 967 Buxton - For 960 v 948 & Against 890 v 901 St. Austell - For 957 v 963 & Against 877 v 871

Can any kind soul confirm any of these fixtures from 1994: 06/04 Poole v Belle Vue (BL1) Postponed due to storm damage 15/04 Arena Essex v Bradford (Premiership L1) Rained Off 22/04 Arena Essex 54 Bradford 42 (Premiership L2) 09/06 Peterborough: Jubilee Trophy (Ind) Rained Off 29/10 Eastbourne v Poole (BL1) Rained Off - result awarded 0-80 Sam Ermolenko's testimonial was rained off at the first attempt on 31st July. I have it down as a 4TT but the restaging was an individual event. What format would the rained off meeting have taken?

The match finished 52-44 but it appears that some kind of alteration was made to the result after the event. I'm expecting the score to have been adjusted to 42-44 but would like someone to confirm this and provide the reason for the adjustment if possible. Thanks.

I'm tidying up a 1995 season results list. Can anyone confirm these cancelled/postponed matches? 17/06/1995 Buxton v Sittingbourne (AL) - reason? 29/07/1995 King's Lynn v Exeter (PL) - noted as off 27/07 - reason? 09/09/1995 Stoke: Academy League Grand Prix - rained off - confirm date. 09/09/1995 Berwick v Buxton v Linlithgow v Cleveland - rained off - confirm date. 13/09/1995 Hull v Peterborough (PL) - rained off - confirm date. 30/12/1995 Linlithgow - noted as a Challenge with programme produced - what was the planned event? I have a Berwick programme that lists the following fixtures as postponed but have no entries for them on the results list. What happened to the following meetings? 06/05/1995 Stoke v Berwick (AL) 14/05/1995 Middlesbrough: Academy League Grand Prix 25/06/1995 Cleveland v Berwick (AL) 29/06/1995 Devon v Berwick (AL) 06/07/1995 Exeter: Academy League Grand Prix

Yes, I'm sure they used to do demo match-races against each other.

I remember Blair riding at Linlithgow and in demo races at Powderhall when he was 14 and he looked like he was going to be a real good 'un. Sorry to hear how things panned out for him.

I've been researching the Scottish Junior League for longer than I care to remember. The main goal was to gather the heat details for every match, meaning access to marked programmes was paramount. Consolidating the averages was the second stage of the operation. With press coverage going from the sublime to the ridiculous, some seasons (and tracks) have proved harder to nail down than others. Despite some terrific help from several sources and the constant chasing of marked programmes, I'm still short on crucial information that would allow me to publish the files with any sort of credibility (i.e. less supposition and guess work) so I'm looking for anyone who can provide S.J.L. heat details (no senior details required) from any of the following list of matches. It's a substantial list (probably best NOT to quote it when replying!) presented in CLUB order, showing date, main event, competition and junior match. Thank you in advance for any information. Even just one match could help a season fall into place. 30/05/1981 Barrow: Berwick v Exeter (NL) Berwick v Workington 19/05/1979 Belle Vue v Hackney (BL) Belle Vue v Blantyre 18/08/1979 Belle Vue v Ipswich (BL) Belle Vue v Felton 21/04/1979 Berwick v Stoke (NL) Berwick v Workington 09/06/1979 Berwick v Scunthorpe (KOC) Berwick v Blantyre 23/06/1979 Berwick v Canterbury (NL) Berwick v Sheffield 14/07/1979 Berwick v Oxford (KOC) Berwick v Felton 01/05/1982 Berwick v Middlesbrough (NL) J.R.H.

No worries. As I said above, no contribution is too small. The 1984 details have proved hard to get so I like to take the chance to ask when I can.

Fair enough. The official scores could be wrong of course. All part of the fun tracking this stuff down though! None are listed above, but do you have any heat details from the Kenning Vikings 1984 season? There were junior matches staged on 26/04, 17/05, 14/06, 05/07 (full scale), 26/07, 09/08, 16/08, 30/08, 20/09 and 04/10 (full scale).

Thanks. I'm not so sure of the second set of results though. By all accounts Belle Vue won 10-07 and Butt was unbeaten on 6, Collier on 3 and Heyes 1. Strangely though the Teesside scorers appear correct. Any ideas?

They competed in 1978 and 1982.

1979: Cradley Heath, Crayford, Ipswich, King's Lynn, Mildenhall, Nottingham, Oxford, Peterborough, Reading, Rye House, Swindon & Wimbledon. 1983: Hackney, Ipswich, King's Lynn, Leicester, Long Eaton, Mildenhall, Milton Keynes & Rye House.

Ashfield Juniors game is off so the infield certainly is.

I'm nearing the end of my Coatbridge/Glasgow research for 74-87 but I'm still missing some non-riding #8's and reserves. Teams requiring the mystery man are in red. I also require a couple of forenames for riders with whom I'm not familiar. 28/04/1974 Workington v Coatbridge & forename of K. Stevens who rode in the 2nd half 04/08/1977 Oxford v Ellesmere Port 13/08/1977 Berwick v Glasgow v Teesside v Edinburgh 17/05/1981 Rye House v Workington 10/04/1983 Mildenhall v Glasgow 09/09/1984 Mildenhall v Glasgow 28/08/1986 Middlesbrough v Mildenhall & Middlesbrough v Glasgow 28/05/1987 Forename of R. Brown who rode for Glasgow in the NJL match.

Can someone confirm the result of this match for me please?

That's what I was hoping to hear. The results sheet I have lists it as a 41-37 win for Cradley so I couldn't get the figures to tally with the final table. Many thanks.

Thanks. What result does it give for 26th May Swindon v Cradley, again in the League Cup?

Listed in the Speedway Star fixtures but no subsequent mention of the outcome. Can anyone enlighten me?

I'm looking for the results of the following matches: 24/07 at Oxford: Andy's Skolars v Jan's Stars v Tatum's Terrors (3TT) 05/08 at Peterborough: Wimbledon v Eastbourne v Middlesbrough v Peterborough (NL 4TT SF 2) Score when abandoned after heat 7. If I recall they staged the outstanding final race at Milton Keynes - on what date and what was the result? 12/10 at Exeter: S W Junior Championship (IND) S W = South West or South Western? 13/10 at Poole: Poole v Ipswich v Cradley Heath v Hackney (4TT) 25/10 at Ipswich: 16 Lapper (IND) 30/10 at Peterborough: Hexagon Trophy (IND) 01/11 at Rye House: Rye House v Arena Essex v Hackney (Autumn Triangle L2) 06/11 at Hackney: Hackney v Arena Essex v Rye House (Autumn Triangle L3) 07/11 at King's Lynn: Simmo Spectacular I'm also looking for the reason each of these matches were abandoned: 03/06 Cradley Heath v Wolverhampton (BLC) 01/08 Stoke v Peterborough (NL KOC QF L2) 16/09 Cradley Heath v Oxford (BL KOC SF L1) Thanks in advance.

Can anyone confirm the Glasgow riding order in this meeting? It's impossible to work out from the Star report and a blank programme. If you were at the match and have a marked programme, I'd also be greatful for a note of the second half results. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully you can access the file, a scan of the Glasgow programme https://app.box.com/s/s6bpe7s5xnwjm2bz1ukjxfpbfbj85bw5
